We promised - and here they are. A feast of 1974 photos from the Wearmouth 1300 Festival in Sunderland.
We pledged to share more photos and we have done just that. If you were on the parade, in the crowds, playing the bagpipes or pictured on the floats, you might just be in our Echo archive selection.
